A Fragile Existence

Written for a friend in hospital.

In this world

We try and try

Hoping; wishing; praying

For a better life

To lead us into tomorrow

And follow us to eternity.

But my friend; it’s not that simple.

 

Never will we find

What fully quenches our thirst,

Or what fills our heart with everlasting sunshine.

For, we are humans,

Living; breathing; making mistakes

And trying to fix them,

Putting the pieces back together

With a trembling hand.

But let me tell you;

The pieces will never be the same again.

 

That’s fine, isn’t it?

We can go on living;

Searching for our meaning,

Our very purpose

On this planet,

And when we find it

Our empty hearts

will no longer be as empty anymore.

And when we find it

Our empty hearts

will no longer be as empty anymore.
